Periodontal Treatment

Healthy gums and the bone beneath them are vital to maintaining strong teeth and overall oral health. Plaque and tartar buildup below the gum line can lead to bone loss and, if untreated, eventual tooth loss. Bleeding during brushing may be an early sign of gum disease and should be evaluated by your dentist.

​

When gum disease progresses, deeper pockets can form between the teeth and gums. In such cases, specialized periodontal treatments like root planing or curettage are used to clean and smooth the root surfaces, removing bacteria and debris to reduce inflammation and prevent further damage. Left untreated, this condition can also cause persistent bad breath.
